Tilapia Aquaculture Dialogue Standards

Tilapia is one of the most popular types of seafood eaten in the United States. Most of it 75 percent comes from an enclosed farm in the ocean or an inland farm, such as a man-made pond. Its called tilapia aquaculture and it is one of the fastest growing food industries in the world.

yeah tell that story about the tilapia fat being no good to the millions of people that have eaten it over the centuries and remained fit and healthy. america does not allow tilapia to be grown in those dirty waters,so buy local fresh and purged. It is also about price and the environment. tilapia are grown fast and over one year. they are a major reason why we have not totally wrecked our oceans. if we took away the tilapia production of the world we would all starve or be priced out of food.

@deemortiz wild salmon, haddock, farm raised trout, farmed mussels fresh pacific sardines stay away from swordfish, mackerel, tilapia in particular a lot of Tiliapia is also coming in from China where they have polluted fish farms Other fish may come from Viet Nam which also has a lot of pollution in the Mekong Delta river fish farms Unlike many fish that eat smaller fish, Tilapia can eat corn which is cheaper. However it is believed that Tilapia process that into unhealthy Omega 6 fat.

@brambau Can you offer a better alternative?

Look up this article in google:

"Popular Fish, Tilapia, Contains Potentially Dangerous Fatty Acid Combination"

Tilapia has higher levels of potentially detrimental long-chain omega-6 fatty acids than 80-percent-lean hamburger, doughnuts and even pork bacon, the inflammatory potential of hamburger and pork bacon is lower than the average serving of farmed tilapia.

So this is like the 1782 Constitutional Convention?
